There are many factors that can determine whether a country is a developed, developing or underdeveloped nation. Some example factors include literacy rate, use of natural resources and access to healthcare. This essay will focus on the factors that determine whether a country is a developed or developing country. A developed country is generally defined as a country that has a GDP per capita higher than $12,000. Examples of developed countries include Japan, Australia and the United States. Next, a developing country is defined as a country that have a GDP per capita between $1,000 and $4,000. Examples of developing countries include Indonesia, China and Fiji. (Cunningham)
In the mind maps below, I will be explaining the difference between developed and developing nations in four criteria.
Infant Mortality
Population Growth Rate
Access to Healthcare
Literacy Rate
